ہو چکیں غالبؔ بلائیں سب تمام
ایک مرگ ناگہانی اور ہے
हो चुकीं ग़ालिब बलाएं सब तमाम
एक मर्ग -ए -नागहानी और है
{ O Ghalib ,every calamity has fallen upon us
What is now left is just a sudden death }

Dil mat tapak nazar se ke paaya na jayega
Joo۔n Ashk phir zamin se uthaya na jayega
Kaaba agarche Toota to kya ja e Gham hai Sheikh
Kuch Qasr e Dil nahin ke banaya Na jayega
Qatil main kah raha tha ke is khu se dar guzar
Sauda ka Qatl hai ye chhupaya na jayega
~ Sauda
